I see leaves as sun catchers, food and armor for the plant. I only really believe in "Lolipoopping" the lower parts not receiving adequate light.
Your doing something right. They're bigger than my 2 month old plants. I think my littles were the same age and they're still sprouts. Almost feel I'm not getting enough CO2.Day 21 quick update:
And off with her head!! Banner got topped this afternoon. So all three plants have now been topped.
I have my 4 inch running constantly in the 5x5 that creates a positive pressure in the room which probably isn't ideal. Then the 8 inch kicks on to keep the humidity in check. I wasn't able to run it 24\7 cuz it was drying my room out even on the lowest fan speeds. Been trying to stay within the vpd as well and it's been hard. Could hit 79 and 60 but never with the big fan going constantly. So now I'm running the both fans sitting at a consistent 72 and 60. I added a ten gallon pot of marigolds which has been helping. Then just now I come to the realization once those plants get big I'll have to incorporate a dehu which I have just wasn't wanting to run it. I have a ultrasonic humidifier which isn't ideal in my situation with hard water so I've been trying to be conservative. Haven't been able to find distilled water within 45 miles. Spaced out Ro. So I'm conditioning the hard water using grow bags inside the tent to filter the stuff that isn't conditioned because I didn't want to wreck my carbon filter. Once I restore and clean the dehumidifier I can use that water but it's not suggested. In my head it was all supposed to work out lol
Just went to check things out because as I wrote that it wasn't making sense why I've been at 72 all day. When I cycled through the temp settings on my heater yesterday I must have been reading what it was at and set it at 70 instead of 75. Was high 70s when I went to bed. Figured with the lights off and fan running the big room would drop to around high 60s. So this morning seeing 72 wasn't alarming and thought the fan going all night with the lights off brought it that low. So hopefully with another mistake fixed and with the lights on I'll hit high seventies to get closer to vpd. I'll have to start dropping that gradually anyway like you said. My environmental issues are why I went so heavy with the preventive spray. All the fluctuations are making me nervous.
I don’t think those numbers are all that alarming. I think consistency in environment with any plant is key. Try to avoid the big temp/rh swings as best you can.
Nope these are photo’s
Wonder no more. Come join us in #SIP Club. (Link in my sig).
